Jonathan and Phebe Foxcraft (Phillips) Clement, was born at Chester, N. H., November 8, 1840.

After graduation he was appointed to a clerkship in the Treasury at Washington, which he retained until 1865, when he returned to his home at Woodstock, Vt., and commenced the study of law in the office of French & Johnson ; he was soon appointed assistant clerk of the county court, and was the acting clerk till July, 1867; in July, 1867, he was appointed to a responsible clerical position in the superintendent's office of the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona, Pa., which he held a few weeks only, when he was appointed chief clerk of the office of Superintendent of Transportation; in 1870 he was appointed Division Superintendent of the Pullman Palace Car Company, at Jersey City; in November, 1871, he was made the advertising agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company; from this position he was promoted to the responsible place of General Baggage Agent, having charge of all matters con- nected with the transportation of baggage on all the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company east of Pittsburg and Erie. Under his skillful management, the loss and damage to bag- gage was reduced to the minimum, and his success in settling claims and tracing lost articles was notable in railroad circles. As an example, during the Centennial Exhibition, in 1876, although the Pennsylvania railroad moved 1,384,966 pieces of baggage that year, they had to pay only $167.69 on account of baggage destroyed or damaged, and only $1,739.30 for baggage lost or stolen, and the management of the company highly com- plimented Mr. Clement for the great ability displayed by him in his official duties. GRADUATES 55 He was very popular, and a general favorite in all circles, and a successful future was predicted for him. He was taken with a severe, and, as it proved, a fatal illness of but a few weeks' duration, and died at Philadelphia, January 8, 1S81. He was buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, on the banks of the Schuylkill. He was never married. The Railway Journal, at the close of a long notice of his life and death, says : "The memory of 'Charley Clement' will be tenderly cherished in the New England home of his earlier years, as well as in the State of his adoption, where the prime of his life was passed."

He has done some literary work for the newspapers, and in assisting in getting out the history of Northfield, N. H., published by the town and edited by Mrs. L. R. H. Cross, his wife. In this history are tributes by others than the Cross family to his two sons, of whom and their loss he has not the heart to write. His daughter is married, the wife of Mr. Charles J. VanCor, a merchant, of Boston, and there are two grandchildren. Cross gave up politics when he left Missouri, and has acted independently for several years, though his general principles are the same.

Fie is a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, of the Sons of the American Revolution, and of the Descendants of the Mayflower, in which he takes great interest, as four of his ancestors were on that vessel. The past two years he has suffered from physical ills, which came upon him suddenly, and, along with the other troubles, impairment of eyesight. However, he does not complain, and has a good hope that his physical ailments will grow no worse, but may steadily improve. He married Miss Jeannette E. Irvin, at Pittsburg, Pa., October 15, 1874.

He has been at work on a genealogy and a family history, but these are for his chil- dren only. The work which, according to him, is the only one that is really literary, is a translation of the "Iliad" of Homer, which is now nearing completion. It is a literal trans- lation, line for line, but no lazy boy could cheat his teacher by a mere copy. These and a small manuscript volume of poems, written in moments of leisure, are all he has worth mention ; at least, that is what he says. His five sons all married and all succeeded well, and all but one are alive. All the sons had children, so that Fellows has eleven grandchildren to gladden his life.

C, where he resided the remainder of his life. He was the principal of the Seaton School to 1874, and from that date was supervising principal of schools. He had the reputation of being an able and valuable instruc- tor and supervisor. In the memorial address by Mr. A. T. Stuart, superintendent of the Washington public schools, are these words : "I disparage no one, living or dead, when I say that no teacher in the Capital City has ever exerted a wider or more beneficent influence upon GRADUATES 7 1 our people as a teacher, as a citizen, or as a man, than did Nathaniel P. Gage." "He was not only a superior teacher and a model supervisor, but he was an accurate scholar, a man of discriminating taste and a student of art.'' "The relations between him and his friends were those of absolute confidence and affection." Mr. Stuart knew Gage and his worth, for they had worked side by side for thirty years, beginning their careers in the schools of Washington on the same day. In 1905 one of the new public school buildings was dedicated the "Gage School" in honor of him. He met his death on August 7, 1903.

He held the professorship of diseases of children at the St. Louis Medical College, and was one of the staff of St. Luke's Hospital. He died June 4, 1892, at Magnolia, Mass. It was characteristic of the man that during the outbreak of cholera at St. Louis, shortly after the Civil War, he remained constantly at his work. Taken away in the prime of life, he had accomplished a full life's work, and left the memory of a noble nature and skilful physician. The medical staff of St. Luke's Hospital thus gave voice to their grief: " 'Dr. George F. Gill died at Magnolia, Mass., on June 4th, 1892.' In this brief sentence is told the loss, to us, of a trusted friend and colleague, and to the hospital of a valued sup- porter. He was a man whose honor was above reproach, and whose life should be to us an encouragement and a stimulus. "As a physician, he was able, conscientious, and charitable ; ever ready to assist by his services or advice those who needed help. "Of a nature eminently retiring, his real worth was known only to his friends. Of such a man the world may hear little, but those who knew him loved him, and to them his death means the loss of a friend, sympathetic, genial, honest, and true." He married, in 1889, the daughter of the late Hon. Richard Frothingham, Charlestown, Mass.

However, early in 1894 he bought the tool factory of Wm. Ross & Bros., at Sharon Hill, Pa. This was his last business change. In 1897 he lost his wife, and in October, 1907, his mother died at Biddeford, Me.

Buzzell, in Carroll County, for murder, Hobbs was associated with the attorney- general for the prosecution, and bore a prominent part. His reputation became extended and his practice grew rapidly. It was said of him that he "flashed into distinction like a meteor in the starry midnight," and another styled him "the first lawyer in New Hampshire of his years." "His amiable disposition, his modesty and generosity, his complete uprightness, his high sense of honor, and his lofty professional ideals endeared him to all who knew him."

Of the "Swain School Lectures" the critics said : "Not scientific treatises, but a scholarly and often whimsical exhibition of groups of mental phenomena or analyses of mat- ters that unscientific minds take for granted without thought of investigation." "They are scholarly, but are written in a popular style attractive to the student of to-day, who must be interested before he can be instructed." "They are brief, pointed, and interesting." "But these 50,000 words are so employed by the author as to reveal the meaning of hundreds of volumes of writers upon philosophy which would be meaningless to the mind that had not received some such revelation."

He fitted at Francestown and Mount Vernon (N. H.) Academies, and entered college in the fall of 1858, and continued through the course. At graduation he was 5 feet 7^2 inches in height, 135 pounds in weight ; sandy hair and complexion ; paid his own college expenses ; was a Republican, a Presbyterian, and intended to become a minister. After graduation he taught at Bradford, Mass., 1862-4; at the Hitchcock Academy, Brimfield, Mass., 1864-6; studied divinity at Andover Theological Seminary till 1869; ordained a Congregational minister at Francestown, September 2, 1869 ; at once went as missionary to Aintab, Central Turkey, under the auspices of the American Board, having general oversight of the Central Turkey Missions ; returned to this country in July, 1875, and remained until October, 1878, engaged in min- isterial work; then he returned to Turkey and was stationed at Marash, where he resided until 1905. He had the supervision of some twenty-five Protestant congregations, besides being a teacher and trustee in the Theological Seminary at Marash. He was of important service to the cause of humanity and Christianity during the terrible scenes that occurred in Central Turkey in the years of 1878-9, when the city of Zeitoon, which had a population of 10,000 Christians, was in open rebellion against the Turkish Government, being driven to beggary and GRADUATES 85 desperation by the merciless exactions and extortions of the Turkish rulers, who made it a point to rob the Christian popu- lation. A large force of troops was on its way to destroy Zei- toon and its inhabitants, being impelled by love of plunder and hatred of Christianity, when Mr. Marden was asked by the English Consul and the Turkish Governor at Aleppo to go to Zeitoon and seek to adjust the difficulties without bloodshed. He at once started with two native guides, on his hazardous mission for Zeitoon, which is situated among the wild peaks of the upper Taurus ; the way was infested by Moslem robbers, brigands and outlaws, but he passed them all and entered Zei- toon in safety, and after holding a conference with the outlaws and rebels for one week, he succeeded in adjusting their wrongs to such a degree that they capitulated and signed pledges of loyalty. When he started on his return, the soldiers, impatient to attack the Christian at Zeitoon, were making demonstra- tions to that end. The lives of the 10,000 Christians being imperiled, he sent a messenger on a hazardous ride of 130 miles on horseback, through a wild country and amidst bitter foes, to Aleppo, in order to report his successful mission before the army could make any attack, and thus prevent any movement. The messenger reached Aleppo the next day ; the result of Marden's mission gave great satisfaction to the Turkish Gov- ernment, the hostile movement was stopped, to the rage and disgust of the army, and Zeitoon was saved. For this signal service he received the thanks of the Turkish Governor-General and the English authorities, and was after- wards appointed by our Government United States Consular Agent at Marash. His health failing, he left Marash for the United States in April, 1890, with his wife and daughter. When he reached Athens on the 4th of May he was seriously ill, and by the advice of friends was removed to the "Hospital Evangelismos." His disease proved to be a malignant form of typhus, and despite the best medical skill and the best nursing, he died, on the 13th of May. He was buried in the beautiful Greek cemetery. 86 GRADUATES Such was the sympathy awakened throughout the American community at Athens, that it was proposed to endow an Amer- ican ward in the "Hospital Evangelismos."

He was a most successful teacher, and a man of high character. He married Miss Jessie Pierce Emerson, of Nashua, N. H., July 8, 1868. Children : Charles Edward, nat., June 18, 1869. Harvey Emerson, nat., January 17, 1871. Caroline, nat., May 2, 1880. Chauncey Warriner Town Chauncey Warriner Town, son of Ira Strong and Frances Miretta (Witherell) Town, was born at Montpelier, Vt., July 4, 1840. His father was a merchant. He fitted at Fort Edward, N. Y. ; entered college in 1858, and continued through the full course. At graduation he was 5 feet 8 inches in height, 155 pounds in weight ; had black hair, mustache, light complexion ; smoked ; was an Episcopalian in creed, Democratic in politics, and intended to become a lawyer. After graduation he resided at his home at Montpelier, and was Assistant Secretary of the State of Vermont, and Assist- ant State Librarian from 1862 to 1865 ; in the meantime he studied law with Hon. T. P. Redfield (Dartmouth, 1836). He went to New York City in 1865, and settled in the practice of law, and so continued a successful lawyer, at 47 Wall Street, New York City, until his death, December 22, 1903. Was an Independent Democrat, and an Episcopalian. Late in his life he married, and his wife survived him. GRADUATES I 01 Edward Tuck, Paris, France Edward Tuck, son of Hon. Amos (Dartmouth, 1835) and Sarah (Nudd) Tuck, was born at Exeter, N. H., August 26, 1842. He fitted at Phillips Exeter Academy, entered college during the Freshman year, and continued throughout the course. At graduation he was 5 feet 8 inches in height, 132 pounds in weight ; had light brown hair, light complexion ; was a Uni- tarian, a Republican, and intended to become a lawyer. After graduation he read law in the office of his father at Exeter during the fall of 1862, but was obliged to give up study on account of weakness of his eyesight, and spent the following winter in Louisville and St. Louis. In December, 1863, by the advice of an oculist, he sailed for Europe on the sailing vessel Isaac Webb, a clipper ship of the old Black Ball line, for the benefit of the sea voyage and also to consult a distinguished oculist in Switzerland, as well as for rest and travel. In June, 1864, his eyesight being considerably improved, he received the appointment of Consular Clerk under a law that had just been passed for the establishment of a better consular service. He went from Geneva to Paris and passed a severe examination under the supervision of Mr. Dayton, United States Minister, and John Bigelow, United States Con- sul. Mr. Dayton died in December, 1864. Mr. Bigelow was appointed United States Minister in Mr. Dayton's place by W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, and Tuck was made Vice- consul, and, in fact, Acting Consul during the interregnum of five months preceding the appointment of John G. Nicolay as Consul, in the summer of 1865. In June, 1866, he resigned his position as Vice-consul and entered the service of John Munroe & Co., foreign bankers, New York (Paris house, Munroe & Co.), August 1, 1866. He became a partner in the firm in 1871, was married in 1872, and retired from busi- ness January 1, 1881. He was for many years afterward a Director of the Chase National Bank, and became largely inter- ested with James J. Hill in the construction and development 102 GRADUATES of the Great Northern Railway of Minnesota, and in this he has ever since had his largest interests. While actively engaged in business he divided his time between New York and Paris, but since his retirement he has lived for the most part in Paris, though maintaining a residence at No. 7 East Sixty-first Street, New York. In politics he is an independent, and in matters religious a Free Thinker. He married Miss Julia Stell, daughter of William S. Stell, formerly an American merchant, established in Manchester, England, at St. George's, Hanover Square, London, April 22, 1872, and at the American Church, Paris, April 23, 1872. No children. [Note. — This is all the record Tuck gives me; but this is not enough. When women and men, not connected with Dart- mouth, to whom I have sent formal letters asking for informa- tion about some one of the dead and gone, bring in the name of Tuck in their replies as if he were their friend, or quote from him as if to bolster up their opinion ; when I have the letter of one classmate to another telling of Tuck's kindness to a third ; when men can find time to send me merely the barest outlines of their own doings, but have time enough to tell me about having "had an interview with Tuck as he passed through," or receiving "a nice letter from Ned Tuck a little while ago," or seeing "Ned Tuck several times last spring," or hearing "from Tuck once in a while," and another writes: "He is a noble fellow, and I am proud of him pub- licly and privately as a classmate ;" and yet another, "Why could not we, as a class, what are left of us, make some suitable acknowledgment to our classmate, Edward Tuck, for his generous gifts to old Dartmouth? Think of it" — then I know that their fondness for him demands of me more of a sketch than he has given. Again, as I find that Doctor Tucker, briefly reviewing the period of reconstruction and expansion which covers the past sixteen years, in his Report issued to the Alumni over the date of June 7, 1909, has much to say of Tuck's gifts to Dartmouth and the work and aims of the Tuck GRADUATES IO3 School, I feel that it is very meet that the men of '62 insist on more of Tuck's history than he has given us. As his life is not at all explained without some knowledge of his father, I give the barest outline of the work of a man who held the same place in the hearts of the men who knew him best as does the son in ours. — H. S. C] Like every other boy in the Phillips Exeter Academy during the years that Dr. Soule was principal, Tuck had a thorough preparation for college, and at Dartmouth his scholarship was good and at graduation he stood among the first men of his class, and was elected Class Orator. Most men who stand at or near the head of their class owe that position not to text-book scholarship alone, but to some- thing above and beyond that, and an illustration of this is Tuck's rapid rise in the Consular Service and his achievements in the financial world. His successes have all been in keeping with the spirit of his life and work at school and college. Even his retirement at the early age of forty was not a nar- rowing but an enlarging of his activities and interests. He has never let go his accurate knowledge of commercial and mone- tary affairs nor his active relationships with men of affairs both social and political, and concerning many public ques- tions he has expressed his views through the columns of the London Economist, the Statist, and the Nineteenth Century. While all this is true, his retirement has given him the oppor- tunity to give himself largely to things higher. One who has good means of knowing writes that in art Tuck is an experi- enced judge, a connoisseur, whose collections of tapestry and of Sevres and Oriental porcelain are a delight to all. His highest work, however, is his labor for Humanity. Many have been the recipients of his benefactions in Paris — the Fresh Air Fund, the Society for Promoting the Welfare of Young Women and Girls, and numerous other charitable organizations or associations in which Mrs. Tuck takes an active personal interest. In 1902 the Hopital Stell at Rueil was built by Mr. and Mrs. Tuck and was so named after Mrs. Tuck's father and mother. It is a free hospital for the benefit of the inhabitants of the town of Rueil, in which is included the 104 GRADUATES Chateau de la Malmaison, adjacent to their country home. The hospital has accommodations for twenty patients, and is supported entirely by Mr. and Mrs. Tuck. France has officially proved her appreciation of these things and her esteem of the man by conferring on him the Cross of the Legion of Honor. So much for the work away from his real home. Here, large contributions have been made to the New York Diet Kitchen, to the French Hospital in New York, and to the Cottage Hospital in Exeter, his native town. His affection for New Hampshire and his pride in its history have had more than one illustration. Adjoining Exeter is the little town of Stratham, and its most attractive spot, Stratham Hill, was well known to him in his boyhood days. Learning that it was to be sold, he purchased it, and on Old Home Day, 1905, presented it to the town of Stratham to be used as a public park. The meaning of this gift, both to him and to the people, is best told in his own words : "It would be a misfortune if this beautiful hill, with its grand views of the surrounding country and of the ocean, to which the people have had access from time immemorial, should be closed to the free use of the public, or stripped of its fine growth of timber. I fully share in the sentiments of affection with which the inhabitants of the neighboring towns always regarded it, and I should be glad to ensure its preservation as a historic landmark and public resort by presenting the property to the town of Stratham." For all the sons of New Hampshire (and what a crowd of them are Dartmouth men!), though nominally for the New Hampshire Historical Society, he is providing the funds for the erection of a building that will be the permanent home of the society and an abiding place for its library and deposits of historic and artistic value. Before this gift the outlook was gloomy. The society had outgrown its quarters and its means were too meager to procure a home suited to its needs if its work were to continue and its purposes to be realized. The gift of the money is not all, but time and toil has he devoted to the preparations for the construction of the building. "It GRADUATES 105 is," says the architect, "to be of classic dignity. The exterior, all of granite, is designed in the Greek Doric spirit. The interior as well as the exterior will be of a dignified monu- mental type." The cut in this book is from a drawing and cannot show the true beauty of the building. A quotation from a personal letter just received will help us to picture to ourselves a little more clearly what the cut so imperfectly represents : "1 wish I could adequately describe the wonderful beauty of the Historical Society building, for truly its chaste and exquisite lines are fair to look upon. Although the mate- rial is Concord granite, still, owing to the exceedingly refined cutting — the ten-inch cut — the exterior presents the appearance of white marble. The story immediately above the basement has been begun, revealing the superb designs. "Surely, it is a royal gift, if ever a royal gift can be imagined." When finished, this will be as complete, elaborate and beautiful a structure as any of its kind in this country. The probable cost of the building alone will be but little short of a half-million dollars. Interesting as all these things are to us, his classmates, because we love him and want to know all that he does, the gift we care most about and the one that prompted the sugges- tion that as a class "we make some suitable acknowledgment," is the one to old Dartmouth. In 1899 he wrote to President Tucker that he wished to make a donation to the College, to be known as the "Amos Tuck Endowment Fund," in memory of his father. He expressed the desire that the fund with which he presented the College should be kept intact and separate and distinct from the general funds of the College, and that the income should be applied to the following purposes : First and principally, to the maintenance of the salaries of the President and Faculty at figures which would tend to secure and retain for the College the services of men of the highest ability and culture. He stated it to be his expectation that the Trustees would apply a portion of the income to the I06 GRADUATES increase of existing salaries and a portion also to additional professorships which might in the future be established in the College proper or in post-graduate departments. Secondly, and in minor part, the income was to be applied to the maintenance and increase of the College Library. Later on Doctor Tucker expressed a desire to extend the work of the College in semi-professional ways, and asked that this extension take a definite form in the foundation of a post-graduate course to be called the "Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance," to the support of which the income of the fund should in part be applied, and Tuck consented. In 1 90 1 he made a further donation to supply the necessary means for erecting, equipping, and maintaining a building suited to the uses of the Tuck School. In his recent report to the alumni Doctor Tucker says : "The noble benefaction of Edward Tuck, class of 1862, of $300,000 (now $500,000), exclusively for instruction, is a stimulating force working quietly but effectively throughout our graduate fellowship." The Tuck building, costing $140,000, was an additional gift. In thinking of these gifts it is worth our notice that Doctor Tucker distinctly avers in his report that "the larger benefactions of recent years have not been the result of my personal efforts." That is, Tuck's gifts came from the promptings of his own heart, not another's head. To show what Tuck wished the scope and purpose of this new School to be, a brief quotation from him is not out of place : "In the conduct of the school to which you have done my father's memory the honor of attaching his name, I trust that certain elementary but vital principles, on which he greatly dwelt in his advice to young men, whether entering upon a professional or business career, may not be lost sight of in the variety of technical subjects of which the regular cur- riculum is composed. Briefly, these principles or maxims are : Absolute devotion to the career which one selects, and to the interests of one's superior officers or employers ; the desire and determination to do more rather than less than one's GRADUATES 107 required duties ; perfect accuracy and promptness in all under- takings, and absence from one's vocabulary of the word 'for- get;' never to vary a hair's breadth from the truth nor from the path of strictest honesty and honor, with perfect confi- dence in the wisdom of doing right as the surest means of achieving success. To the maxim that 'honesty is the best policy' should be added another that altruism is the highest and best form of egoism as a principle of conduct to be followed by those who strive for success and happiness in public or business relations as well as those of private life." Who was this father who by practice more than by pre- cept set these ideals before his son and all other men? His life was a full one, and its story would mean the story of the political issues in his State and in the nation for more than a quarter of a century. The man upon whose principles the Tuck School is founded was born August 2, 1810; prepared for college at Hampton (N. H.) Academy, and graduated from Dartmouth in 1835. On leaving college he taught, first at Pembroke Academy and later at his old school in Hampton. Here some of his pupils were young men of his own age or beyond, and they never forgot their teacher or his teachings. While at Hampton he studied law and was admitted to practice in 1838. He settled in Exeter and steadily rose in his profession and in public esteem. In 1842 he was elected as a Democrat to the New Hampshire Legislature, and soon gained a standing among the party leaders. It was not long, however, before the people and the politicians alike discovered that he put principles before party, self-respect before high office. Despite his fearless independence of party rule, he was elected by the people to represent them in the lower house of Congress. When, in 1847, he went to Congress, one of only three "Free Soil" members at that time, he was still a young man, but prudent, tactful, and conciliatory in his conduct, though rigidly firm in purpose. He was not an abolitionist nor an advocate of extreme measures, but he was a staunch anti-slavery man, and that at a time when the espousal of such a doctrine meant ridicule and worse. Still he never once faltered or paused, and by his course conferred lasting distinction on his State. io8 GRADUATES After six years' service in Congress, he returned to Exeter and resumed the practice of law. This release from the routine of Congressional life did not mean to him release from his sense of duty to principles and the people, and he ceased not to labor with voice, pen and deed until the victory was won. In September, 1853, Mr - Tuck wrote Doctor Batchelder, of Londonderry, inviting that gentleman to be present at an informal meeting of some of the principal members of the parties of Exeter on the 12th of October. "One of the prin- cipal objects of this informal meeting is to fix on a plan of harmonizing the different party organizations, whereby a more united cooperation can be secured, and the four parties may pull together under one title of organization." This meeting was held, and there it was, according to Doctor Batchelder, that Mr. Tuck suggested that the com- prehensive name, Republican, be given to the elements that were to constitute the new party. This antedated by several months the mass-meeting at Ripon, Wis., that adopted the same name. The name Republican was first given by Amos Tuck to the forces gathering to resist slavery. In June, 1856, he was one of the prominent men of the American Republicans of New Hampshire, who assembled at Concord to choose delegates to the National Convention to be held at Philadelphia on the 17th of the same month. Mr. Tuck called the meeting to order and, after the choosing of a president, read the resolutions, of which he was the author- in-chief. The new party had nothing to explain or modify, and the resolutions were of sterling character and honest brevity. Mr. Tuck was chosen one of the four delegates-at- large to the Quaker City convention, the first held by the Republicans, and served as vice-president. On the 26th of April, i860, the Republican State conven- tion met at Concord, and again he was chosen as one of the delegates-at-large to the approaching convention. When this second national Republican convention assem- bled in Chicago, in May, he was assigned to the Com- mittee on Resolutions, where he had as his associates Horace Greeley, George S. Boutwell, Francis P. Blair, Carl Schurz, and John A. Kasson. AMOS TUCK C LASS OF 1 8 3 S GRADUATES KX) To the famous Peace Conference he was appointed as one of the New Hampshire delegates, and at that conference, with- out abatement of one iota of principle and with unbending firmness, he still strove to win and conciliate, not to drive or coerce. Though recognized as one of the leaders of the Republicans, he now prepared to resume the practice of his profession. His work for others did not stop with his interest in political issues. He found the time and the strength to serve for a long period as a member of the Board of Trustees of Dart- mouth, of his old Academy at Hampton, and for thirty years of Phillips Exeter Academy. He helped to organize Robin- son Female Seminary, Exeter, N. H. ; was a constant bene- factor to it, and as President of the Board of Trustees spared himself no labor in its behalf. In his private life there was the same devotion to high ideals that guided him in his public career, and, as every '62 man will surmise, his charities were many, no worthy object appeal- ing to him in vain. Always, to all men, in every sense, he was the gentleman. Theodore Parker said of him that to look upon his face was a benediction, and many another has echoed this thought. Such a man was he on whose life and example is built the Tuck School. [Because Tuck has not only given to Dartmouth so much more than any other man, but has made so many other bene- factions, I thought that the class would be interested in seeing buildings erected at his personal cost other than the Amos Tuck Building, and so have inserted the Hopital Stell and the New Hampshire Historical Society Building, the latter from a drawing. — H.

He has been U. S. Pension Examiner since 1888 ; member of the State Board of Registration in Medicine since 1894; Trustee of the Greenfield Savings Bank since 1877. With his wife he made visits to California in the winters of 1897 and 1900, and the latter year they went also to the Hawaiian Islands. He lived in the same town, Greenfield, from 1872, until recently, when he moved to Cambridge. Impaired eyesight has relegated him to private life. His youngest son died in 1905. He is a Republican and "a Congregationalist of the mild form." He married Miss Marcia C. Grant, at Lyme, N. H., Sep- tember 11, 1862. Children : Robert Turner, nat, October 16, 1867.

Randall Hobart White Randall Hobart White, son of Andrew and Lydia Sophia (Hobart) White, was born at Chesterfield, N. Y., May 5, 1833. His father was a farmer. He fitted at Pembroke, N. H., and Thetford, Vt., entered college in the fall of 1858, and continued through the full course. At graduation he was 5 feet 10 inches in height, 170 pounds in weight ; had brown hair, light complexion, full whiskers ; smoked ; was a Methodist, a Republican, and intended to become a lawyer. No better account can be given of his life immediately after graduation than as described by himself: "One week after I graduated I found myself in the woods of Mississippi, in the neighborhood of Corinth, amid tents and soldiers, with them and among them, but not of them. I was south till the war ended, and until March, 1866; was at the battle of Cor- inth, October 3-4, 1862, and carried a musket; was at Vicks- burg for many weeks, and at the time of its surrender, and saw much of that historic struggle." In the Spring of 1866 he resumed the study of law at Platts- burg, N. Y., and in the Fall of that year he entered the law school at Albany, N. Y., and was admitted to the bar at Albany, April 6, 1867, and, going at once to Chicago, 111., entered upon the practice of law. He represented Chicago in the State Legislature, in the years 1880-1, and in July, 1883, was, by the Governor of Illi- nois, on the recommendation of the Judges of Cook County, appointed trial Justice of the Peace for South Chicago, with jurisdiction in matters not exceeding $200, and gave great GRADUATES 113 satisfaction, both to the bar and the people, in his judicial determinations. During some of the many years he held this office (1882-94) the Justice Court system was in bad repute, but no charge was ever made against White reflecting on his integrity as a mag- istrate. He was an able lawyer, and could have served as a Judge of a Court of Record with distinguished success, for his judgment on questions of law was exceptionally accurate, and he knew well how to distinguish between the letter and the spirit of the law. He often brushed aside technicalities and decided cases on the simple question of what was essen- tially just. In close questions he often persuaded parties to agree to a compromise settlement. In 1871 he joined with Gen. Webster, John Wentworth and others in forming the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago, and was its second secretary. At the second annual dinner he read a poem filled with witty allusions to Hanover, its Yale of Tempe, Mink Brook, Prex's Garden and other local points. Later he was president of the association. His nephew says of him: "His great centralizing thought in his life, and that which was nearest to his heart, was 'Dart- mouth College and the men whom he met there/ " He was mentally strong to within a few hours of his death. He left an estate of about $100,000. He left fragments of a great many poems, which his nephew intends to place in shape and have printed. He died on the 17th of April, 1905, and his body was taken to Peru, N. Y., for burial in the family lot. J. A. Clark, in 1892, writing to one of the '62 men, said: "I see White occasionally. He changes not at all." In politics he was a Republican, and in religion was in his own words, in 1884, "unsettled." He made a reminiscent address at the memorial services to Putnam the evening of December ij, 1896. He never married. Dr. Augustus Wiswall Wiggin Augustus Wiswall Wiggin, son of Henry Lamson and Eliza- beth Bond (Wiswall) Wiggin, was born at Wakefield, N. H., 8 114 GRADUATES June 9, 1 84 1.

At graduation he was 5 feet 11J/2 inches in height, 158 pounds in weight ; had dark brown hair, full whiskers, light complexion ; smoked ; paid his own college expenses ; was an Episcopalian, a Republican, and intended to become a physician. After graduation he taught at Belmont, Mass., in 1862-3 ; then studied medicine with Dr. M. B. Warren, at Rochester, N. H., in 1863 ; at Bowdoin Medical College, Me., in 1864, and at Georgetown Medical College, Washington, D. C, graduating M.D. March 2, 1865 ; became a medical cadet, U. S.

Volunteers, August 6, 1866, to date from March 15, 1865; he then resigned from the army and entered upon the practice of his profession at St. Louis in August, 1866. During most of 1867-8 he was engaged as acting assistant surgeon in the army of the Department of the Missouri ; appointed assistant surgeon, Regular Army, November 16, 1868, on duty at West Point, N. Y., to December, 1868; at Camp Warner, Oreg., to May, 1870; ordered to Fort Hall, Idaho, and while on the way he fell from the top of the stage coach and fractured his right leg and severely injured his head, and was carried to Camp Douglas, Utah, and was under treat- ment till August, 1870, when he went on duty at Fort Stevens, Oreg., and was there to October, 1870; at Fort Colville, Wash- ington Territory, to November 25, 1873 ; at Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory, to February, 1874; at Portland, Oreg., and in the field to July, 1874; at Fort Stevens to March 7, 1875. He retired about nine p. m. on the 6th, and was found dead on the morning of the 7th, from the effects of an overdose of chloral, taken to relieve pains caused by the fall from the coach in 1870, and from which he suffered to the time of his death. He was a fine officer with excellent prospects for promotion, and was under orders, at the time of death, to proceed to the East for examination to the rank of full surgeon. NON-GRADUATES Col. Ira McLaughlin Barton Ira McLaughlin Barton, son of Hon. Levi W. and Mary A. (Pike) Barton, was born at Newport, N. H., March II, 1840. His father was a lawyer. He fitted at Meriden, N. H. ; entered college at the fall term of 1858, and left at the end of the Freshman year. After leaving college he commenced the study of law in the office of his father at Newport ; at the very commence- ment of the war he enlisted a company of men, took them to Concord, and was mustered into service, receiving the first captain's commission issued in New Hampshire during the War of the Rebellion ; he w r as captain of Company E. First N. H. Regiment Volunteers ; when the term of this regiment had expired (three months), he returned to his home and at once raised another company and was commissioned captain of Company F in the Fifth N. H. Regiment, known as the famous "Fighting Fifth," and was in many of the most desperate engagements of the war ; he was badly impaired in health by exposure during the peninsula campaign, and was compelled to resign. Having recovered his health, he enlisted another company of heavy artillery and went in command of the same to Fort Foot, near Washington, as Company B, First Regiment N. H.

One evening, while walking on the public street, a person whom he had caused to be arrested for a crime a short time before came behind him and, unknown to him, struck him a terrible blow on the head with a heavy revolver, felling him to the ground, causing a severe wound. He was a long time recovering from its effects, and it caused him much pain dur- ing the remainder of his life. After his partial recovery he left Arkansas, presumably on account of the danger of his living there, and returned to his home in Newport, in Decem- ber, 1874, and engaged in the practice of law with his father ; he never fully recovered his health, and died, after a brief illness, January 19, 1876.

Wilcox, at Newport, in 1861, who died in 1864. He married Miss Addie L. Barton, in 1867, who survived him. Hon. Charles W. Chase Charles W.

He was broad-minded and public- spirited, and true to every engagement." He was a Republican and of no particular religious creed. In 1884 he thought it would take a long while to tell exactly what he did believe, and his law partner writes that there was no change in his politics or religious belief.

A few weeks after his second marriage, while on his wed- ding trip, he died at Woodstock, Vt., September, 1894, and was buried in the family cemetery at Stockbridge. "A straightforward and honorable man if there ever was one," was the tribute paid him by one of the Supreme Judges of Utah. His power of winning friends was one of his prominent characteristics. He was the friend of the poor ; to command- ing strength was added a tenderness and gentleness that was almost womanly. As a judge, he was incorruptible and abstained from even the appearances of evil. He was a Republican, and in religion believed in the over- 124 NON-GRADUATES ruling Providence, and that we cannot escape punishment for wrong-doing, but in no other sense did he believe in eternal punishment. Married Miss Eliza B. Sylvester, of West Newbury, Mass., at Stockbridge, Vt, May, 1868. No children. Married (second time) Miss Grace E. Welles, of Elmira, N. Y., at that place, August 30, 1894. Dr. John Clay McKowen John Clay McKowen, son of John and Elizabeth (Lang- ford) McKowen, was born at Jackson, La., in 1842. His father was a merchant and planter, and lived mostly in Paris, France. He fitted at Mt. Holly and Elizabeth City, N. J.; entered college in 1859, and continued until the summer of 1861, when he left at the breaking out of the Civil War. After leaving college he returned to his home in Louisiana, and entered the Confederate service, became lieutenant colonel of the Fifteenth Confederate Cavalry, and as such was in active service until the close of the war. He made a good reputation as an able and daring officer; among other things, he, with five men, entered the Federal lines at Port Hudson, during the memorable siege of 1863, and captured Gen. Neal Dow and his guard while in their headquarters, and carried them inside the Confederate lines and sent them to Libby Prison at Richmond. General Dow was afterward exchanged for Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. After the close of the war he returned to Dartmouth, and graduated with the Class of 1866. He then went to Europe and became a student of medicine at Paris in 1866-7; returned to America in 1868, bought a ranch in California and became a ranchero at Los Angeles, and was elected the Alcalde ; in 1870 he sold out and removed to San Francisco, and became vice-principal of the public schools in that city in 1870-2. In 1872-6 he was a student of medi- NON-GRADUATES 1 25 cine at Vienna, Austria, and Munich, Bavaria, taking his degree of M.D. at Munich ; engaged in the practice of medi- cine at Rome in 1876, but in 1878 he was taken with malarial fever and went to Capri, in the Bay of Naples, for his health, and was so attracted by the beauties of that earthly paradise that he resided there a number of years. He had a fine villa, a vineyard, and an olive orchard, and occupied his time in writing, painting, making oil and wine, and traveling. Many of his Winters he spent in Egypt, Greece, Tunis, Spain, or other near by places. He published a history of Capri, which was valuable his- torically and of interest to the reader. He accumulated what was said to be the finest private collection of medieval arms in the world. Later he returned to the United States and prac- ticed his profession in New Orleans. He was shot near Wilson, La., September 18, 1897, by State Senator R. E. Thompson. The men met on a country road, one driving and the other on horseback. "With scant prelimi- naries, the pair drew revolvers and began shooting. McKowen, shot through the neck, started his horse, and, as he rode, evidently realizing his wound was mortal, took out his note- book and wrote out a statement of the affair." He married a sister of D. W. Pipes, a prominent politician of Louisiana. In political faith he was a Southerner, and his religious tendencies were (in his own words), "Buddhism mixed with the maxims and precepts of our old college friend, Horace/' Samuel Jones Morris, DeWitt, Iowa Samuel Jones Morris, son of James L. and Agnes E. Mor- ris, was born at Morgantown, Pa., June 16, 1839. His father was a merchant. He fitted at Fort Edward, N. Y., entered college in the Fall of 1858, and remained through the Sopho- more year, being obliged to give up his studies on account of his eyes. 126 NON-GRADUATES After leaving college, he at once "went West," and settled at Princeton, Scott County, Iowa, where he remained until October, 1882, when he removed to DeWitt, his present resi- dence. His own words will best describe his life up to 1882. "My life, since my eyes forbade my continuance with the boys of 1862, has been mainly spent in bucolic pursuits, in the 'otium cum dignitate' of farm life, although I am free to con- fess that the 'otium' was not at all times discernible to the naked eye. As a relaxation therefrom — the 'otium' — I spent some years with moderate constancy and fair success as a teacher, and take rather pardonable pride in the style and man- ner of 'fitting' which I gave several young men for college. I had thought that the 'tupto, tup so, tetupha,' the 'arrecti comer/ and all that, had gone off on a tangent, and had well nigh hoped it had, and have only to thank one young man, half Irish, half German, and wholly polyglot, for the novel discovery that it had not wholly gone, and it is fitting that I bid welcome to what is left." In October, 1882, he removed to DeWitt, Iowa, where he was the head of the firm of Morris, Barr & Morris, patentees and manufacturers of the "Iowa Cyclone Hub Borer," and for many years he was "a wayfarer, a commercial pilgrim," and his duties led him into almost all the States north of Mason & Dixon's line, and sometimes beyond it, being the General Agent of the Iowa Assessment Mutual Insurance Asso- ciation, of DeWitt, Iowa. He has filled responsible positions, such as Assessor, Col- lector, Justice of the Peace, etc. ; and was interested in the pub- lication of a history of Scott County, furnishing much of the material. He is in good health and better spirits, an optimist all through, and hopes rather than expects to reach the century mark. He continues steadfast in Republican faith, tries to grow with its growth, is an ardent admirer of Mr. Roosevelt, and has the largest measure of faith in President Taft. Time has thinned his family as he has lost his youngest daughter and his wife, about his life with whom he wrote in NON-GRADUATES \2J 1883 that he had a firm belief in "matches made in heaven," as "Mrs. M. and myself have the same measure of years, days, hours; twins, so to speak." In his travelling days, he used sometimes to run across some of the men of '62, ''John S. Stevens, of Peoria, for instance, and Add Clark, of Waterloo, Wis., who was a very prince of good fellows." He takes great interest in the class and its record, and writes of them as "a lot of boys well worth knowing and remember- ing. For nearly eighteen years he has lived with his surviving daughter and her family. He married Miss Eleanora V. L. Cornog, at Davenport, Iowa, February 5, 1863. She died in DeWitt, Iowa, August 13, 1889. Children : Eleanora V. L., nat., July 3, 1864. Agnes E., nat., May, 1868, ob. October 4, 1893.

Volunteers, and remained until the regiment was mustered out of service, August 9, 1861 ; reenlisted in the Seventh N. H. Regiment Volunteers October 5, 1861, and was dis- charged November 9, 1864; he was wounded in the right shoulder in the engagement at Olustee, February 20, 1864. He was the first to enlist from Atkinson. After his military service he remained at home for a season, then went West, where he engaged in business ; then returned to Atkinson November, 1867, and studied law in Haverhill, and also in Boston, but was obliged to give it up on account of physical difficulties, and was engaged in farming until his death, August 2, 1889. 128 NON-GRADUATES He was a Democrat and an Episcopalian.

He fitted at Phillips Exeter Acad- emy, entered college in the fall of 1858, and continued until the Sophomore year, when he was compelled to relinquish his studies on account of ill health. After leaving college he went on a sea voyage which bene- fited him greatly ; after that he entered a store in Boston, where he remained two years ; he then engaged in the sugar- refining business, and was the superintendent and manager of the well-known Union Sugar Refinery at Boston, Mass. In 1878 he left the refining business and established a large commission house, Retire H. Parker & Co., manufacturers' agents for glycerine and various druggists' supplies. In this he was successful and accumulated wealth. His winter home was in Longwood, a village of Brook- line, Mass., and his summer home in Hudson, N. H. Here he died suddenly August 13, 1893. His wife and four daughters survived him, as did also a brother. He was a Republican, and Congregationalist "orthodox" in creed, and in 1883 he wrote that he had always paid 100 cents on the dollar and had some left. Married to Miss Caroline D.

Caroline, Margery (twins), nat., June, 1883. non-graduates 1 29 Samuel Porter Putnam Samuel Porter Putnam, son of Rufus A. and Frances H. Putnam, was born at Chichester, N. H., July 23, 1837. His father was a Congregational clergyman. He fitted at Pem- broke (N. H.) Academy, entered college in the fall of 1858, and left college duing Junior year to enter the army. He entered the 4th New York Heavy Artillery, and was connected with the same until he passed a competitive exam- ination before the Military (Casey's) Board at Washington, and was appointed Captain in the 20th U. S. Colored Troops, and served until the close of the war. After the war he studied theology at Chicago, 111., was ordained a Congregationalist (orthodox) minister in 1868, and preached three years; then entered the Unitarian ministry and preached at Toledo, Ohio, one year; at Omaha and North Platte, Nebr., three years; Northfleld, Mass., two years ; Vincennes, Ind., one year. He left the ministry and accepted a position in the Custom House at New York City, in 1880, and later he was promoted. When, however, he was, in 1884, elected secretary of the National Liberal League, he resigned his Custom House posi- tion, and thereafter devoted all his time and energies to the Freethought work. He was one of the chief leaders of an agitation begun in 1885 for the opening of the Museums of Art and Natural History in Central Park on Sunday. The efforts were successful. In December, 1887, he went to California, and the next month began the publication of Freethought, a weekly anti- religious paper. This paper was merged with the Truth Seeker, in August, 1891. He was unanimously elected president of the several annual Congresses (1893-6) of the Freethought Federation. In April, 1895, he sailed from New York on a visit to Eng- land and France, combining a pleasure trip and lecturing tour. He died suddenly at Boston, Mass., December 11, 1896. During his ministerial years he wrote some poetry for the Unitarian papers, and in the interval between the time he left the pulpit and re-entered it, about 1877, he contributed 9 130 NON-GRADUATES more or less verse to the Free Religious Index. His first pub- lished volume was "Promethus, a Poem." Of this work, the late Dr. Bellows said : "It is crammed with life, thought, and pro- found emotion, poured forth, it seems to me, with extraordi- nary richness and beauty ;" and the Century, "The value of the work lies in the vigor, consistency and eloquence with which the moral temptations of to-day are set forth." His first contribution to the Freethought press was his story, "Gottlieb: His Life." For the same paper, the Truth Seeker, he wrote book reviews and other essays. The opening chap- ter of his first novel, "Golden Throne," appeared in the first number of This World, January, 1882. On February 21, 1885, appeared the first of his famous "News and Notes," of which more than five hundred installments were published in the following eleven years. He was also the author of a novel, "Waifs and Wanderings," 1885, and a history, "Four Hun- dred Years of Free Thought," 1894. His writings have not been brought together in a uniform edition. There are various pamphlets and four or five bound books. Besides this work there were hundreds of lectures, which he delivered in all parts of the country. He said that be believed in anarchy, but he never used the word without having it understood that he meant "ideal" anarchy — that is, a condition in which no government would be needed, because no one would infringe the equal rights of others. By heredity he was a Republican, but no party engaged his active support. Regarding religion, he was an Atheist. His philosophy was materialistic. "So unaffected was he, that his intimates usually addressed him as 'Put' or 'Sam.' " Those who knew him loved him, and numerous were the tributes paid him. "I knew him from the early eighties to the time of his death, and never saw in him a streak of what is called 'yellows.' I cannot speak of him without praising him." "I have never met a man who appeared to be more thor- oughly devoted to the great cause of mental freedom. I never heard him utter a harsh word about any human being." NON-GRADUATES I3I Randall H. White (a '62 man) said of him in an address at Chicago that he knew the world was better for Putnam's having lived in it, and that if there was another world beyond the dark river, he believed that Putnam would be one of the most honored inhabitants. White knew him first at Pembroke Academy, then at college, later when he was attending the theological seminary in Chicago. "He has often been a guest at my house, and no guest was ever more welcome." He married Miss Louise Howell, at Chicago, May 1, 1868. Children : Harry, nat, May 1, 1869. Gracie nat, April 29, 187 1. John J. Sanborn, Washington, D. C. John J. Sanborn, son of John and Laura (Swasey) Sanborn, both of whom were of New England extraction, birth, and education, was born at Charlestown, Jefferson County, W. Va., September 6, 1840. His father was a teacher. He entered college in the fall term of the Sophomore year, 1859, and left college in i860. After leaving college he returned to his home in Virginia and entered the Confederate army ; he left that service and came into the Federal lines, and has resided in Washington since 1863, where he has been engaged in various depart- ments of the Government, and so continued, being last employed in the office of the Commissioners for the District of Columbia. He resigned some time ago, in 1891.
